Crusade 1: Enter the Cutie

[dumbfabric]

[Action A: 5725 Cunningham, locked to housemates]

[Sweetie Belle woke up in a doghouse which was unusual for her, seeing as she was not a dog but a pony. She found this especially odd as she had fallen asleep in her bed back in Ponyville. Now she was somewhere else and she didn't know where. A moment later a loud sound came from the doghouse]

Waaaaaaaaaaah. Where am I?


[Action B: Around Mayfield]

[Sweetie Belle is out wandering the streets looking for someone or something she knows.]

Um. Hello. Anybody?

[Action C: 7135 Brooks]

[Sweetie Belle stood outside Rarity's house. It had taken her a while to find her sister's house. Unable to reach the doorknob Sweetie Belle tried to reach her sister the best way she knew how.]

Rarity. Rarity. RARITYYYYYYYY!

[Damn, Sweetie Belle. YOU WIN THIS ROUND.]

Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.

[dumbfabric]

Oh speaking of Pinkie Pie, she's outside, she led me here and we were going to make cupcakes in your kitchen, that's cool right?

[prissy_hooves]

Sweetie...

[Arrrrgggh. She always manages to do this. Rarity huffs in irritation before stepping aside indignantly.]

Very well. But make sure it's all right with Aurora and Tsukasa first, and clean up any mess you make.

[downtoearthpony]

[Alright Applejack, you can do this. Let's just keep it factual for now and maybe you can avoid anything that might panic the filly...]

That's...kind of a strange rule about this town... For some reason it considers us ponies as 'pets.' You'll even run into people who don't seem to hear us and treat us like dogs or cats. Pretty much all us ponies here got stuck with that tag and it makes it a little hard to get into shops sometimes because they usually run by hue-mins that thing we're dogs...

[Applejack is watching Sweetie Belle as she explains this, hoping she's taking it well.]

[She points in the right direction]

Coupla blocks thataway. Always good to have familiar faces around here.

My apologies, Miss, I haven't seen her. But I'll be willing to help you look for her.

Are you from Ponyville as well?

Re: Sorry sorry for the late tag

[equinamity]

Ponyville, I am assuming, is where you are from.

Unfortunately, you are here in Mayfield--and as of yet nobody has figured out how to get home.

[Okay, it's time to be nice. The pony isn't going to attack, so it's all right. Riza smiles, sadly.]

I am sorry to have to meet you here, Mayfield is not a pleasant place. May I ask your name?

[magicalrealist]

They're not even from Equestria. They come from many other worlds and places beyond our own.

Simply put, Mayfield can bring all sorts of things here from many different worlds. It doesn't make sense, but that's what it can do.

Re: Sorry sorry for the late tag

[dumbfabric]

My name is Sweetie Belle, why isn't this a nice place?

Re: B

[dumbfabric]

Thank you for your help, it was really ummmmm. helpful.

[dumbfabric]

Oh that reminds me, who are the people you're living with? Can I meet them?

[dumbfabric]

Sweetie Belle tries really hard but still only gets about half of what Applejack says]

Why would they think we're dogs we don't look anything like dogs.

Re: B

[dumbfabric]

[After a few minutes Sweetie Belle will stick her head out of the window] Pinkie Pie, do you think we could maybe bake cupcakes later? Apparently my sister needs to have a talk with me.

Re: B

[dumbfabric]

Yes I am. So How do you know Twilight?

Re: B

[party_hard]

Oh, that's okay! I'm sure you and Rarity have a LOT to catch up on! We can do it some other time!

[prissy_hooves]

Oh, certainly! Their names are Tsukasa and Aurora. They're both quite nice, I'm sure you'll get along just fine.

[downtoearthpony]

[Okay, as long as she's asking questions, she's probably not panicking, so this might be a good thread of conversation for now...]

Well, there's something in this town that seems to be able to mess with folk's minds and the ones that think we're dogs are almost permanently under that influence. They also tend to treat others like they've always lived here and nothing strange is ever going on.

Trust me, it's a pretty weird thing. The weather around here is crazy sometimes, for example. A foot of snow one day because it's still 'winter', and then the next day it was gone and dry like it never was there because now it's suppose to be 'spring.' And they act like that's how things are suppose to be around.

[dumbfabric]

Are they ponies too or are they other things?

[dumbfabric]

What kinds of things does it bring here, and has anyone tried to find out what's up with the town?

[dumbfabric]

Does that mean that they have to do winter wrap-up like all the time, cause it's fun once a year but I wouldn't want to do it every single day.

[prissy_hooves]

They're all humans, actually. Have you met many of those yet?

Re: B

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Hope ya find your sister real quick!

[dumbfabric]

Oh yeah, I met some on the way over here, they were real helpful.

[prissy_hooves]

Yes, most of them are.

[magicalrealist]

Just about anyone and anything. It even brought over Poison Joke once; it was only for a weekend, but it just goes to show that this place can do that.

As far as I know, everypony's been looking into what's wrong with this place, but Mayfield keeps its secrets very well hidden; no one has been able to discover anything of real value, but it's a constant process and many are looking into as many opportunities as they can.
